Book 23 : ISAIAH - Chapter 048
048:001
For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves
upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name
048:002
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they
went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them
suddenly, and they came to pass
048:003
Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an
iron sinew, and thy brow brass
048:004
I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it
came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine
idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image,
hath commanded them
048:005
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I
have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden
things, and thou didst not know them
048:006
They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before
the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say,
Behold, I knew them
048:007
Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that
time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou
wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a
transgressor from the womb
048:008
For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise
will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off
048:009
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have
chosen thee in the furnace of affliction
048:010
For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for
how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory
unto another
048:011
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am
the first, I also am the last
048:012
Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my
right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them,
they stand up together
048:013
All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath
declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his
pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans
048:014
I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought
him, and he shall make his way prosperous
048:015
Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in
secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am
I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me
048:016
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I
am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which
leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go
048:017
O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy
peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of
the sea
048:018
Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy
bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been
cut off nor destroyed from before me
048:019
Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a
voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the
end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant
Jacob
048:020
And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he
caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave
the rock also, and the waters gushed out
048:021
There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked
